The Hunstanton Poppy Appeal, which also takes in the villages of Holme-next-Sea and Ringstead broke all records for the Poppy Year 2005-2006. We raised £10,092.90 - Well done everybody.

This year we are struggling to reach last year's figure, but we still have a couple of months left to raise the £1.089 to beat that figure.

David Foulkes once again featured in fund-raising ventures. His September Concert was a huge success in the Town Hall, when he appeared dressed as Cpl Jones and sang the Dad's Army theme. This raised more money as the concert goers were warned that he would sing it again if they didn't put some more money in the collection buckets.

Once again we organised on behalf of the North West Norfolk Group our "Lest We Forget" concert which was a huge success. A Cockney concert troupe with a lead singer called Penny Lane took the concert by storm and the first half was concluded with the Comedian, Martin Gold who had the ladies in tears with some of his jokes. Once again the Lavender Hill Mob (a local young children's group gave a fifteen minute programme which was appreciated by an almost full Princess Theatre. The second half featured The Hunstanton Concert Band and then the mood changed as a service of Remembrance was led by our local clergy and the choir of St. Edmund's Church. A total of £600 was raised for the Poppy Appeal and we now look forward to this year's concert which will be held on Saturday 27th October 2007 at the Princess Theatre, Hunstanton commencing at 7 p.m. It will be another night of music and nostalgia.

Once again we ask anybody living locally who can give of their time during this year's Remembrancetide to get in contact with our Poppy Appeal Organiser, Roy Evans and offer their services.
